First, it was the increase in Goods and Services Tax (GST) by 2% from 5 to 7%. Effected from July 2007, Singapore’s GST increased and everything increased. What pissed me off was McDonald’s Ice Cream Sundae Cone which costs 60 cents now; an increase of 10 cents which is 20% increase. Did tax increase by 20%? Nothing can be done – I’m only a commoner and can only rant here.

Now, Adult EZ-link fares for buses will increase. Damn. I don’t understand why polytechnic students have to pay adult fares but university students get to pay student fares. Is it fair to us? I firmly believe that university students work part time too, and should be able to afford adult travel fares. Or, are polytechnic students/students’ parents richer?

We’re all getting poorer. (Even if you aren’t, I am.)

Polytechnic students: It’s time we do something about this. Ask yourself, what have your school’s students’ union done for you?

Just my two cents.

And, I’ve tried to email the official contacts of SPSU via email but I’ve got no reply yet.

So, your suggestion for me is that I should make a trip down to SPSU’s club house at SAC so I can speak to anyone there? I will heed your advise. Thank you very much.

At time of writing this entry, I do respect you to certain level. Appreciate your suggestion. That’s why you’ve got a dedicated entry.
